An Evening with the Rhythm Rascals

The Friends of Dundee Heritage Trust present an evening with the The Rhythm Rascals - a collective of early swing jazz musicians featuring Enrico Tomasso and Joplin Parnell from London alongside Katie Cavera and Hannah Dexter-Rose from Los Angeles!

Enrico is a five time “best trumpet player in the UK”, respected worldwide and in huge demand – Enrico’s playing is heavily influenced by Louis Armstrong – they met when Enrico was a boy and stayed in touch until Louis died.

Joplin Parnell is one of the brightest young players of New Orleans style piano today. Born into a musical family and splitting his time between his dual heritage of New Orleans and London; Joplin is a regular player at top venues including Ronnie Scott’s in London.

Katie Cavera is a shining star of old-time jazz and blues and her guitar and banjo playing is in demand around the world. She plays all the top festivals in the USA as well as a yearly teaching engagements at hot jazz camps in New York and New Orleans.

Hannah Rose Dexter plays the bass and is a talented composer. She has travelled the US and Europe performing jazz, blues and folkloric music.

You are guaranteed one of the most exciting and uplifting nights of friendly old-time swing.

A debut for all four musicians at the Verdant Works Museum – we are thrilled to be able to present this ensemble, who are excited to play together for the very first time in this line up in the iconic High Mill. This fund-raising concert will help enhance the visitor experience at the museum. Don't miss out on this unforgettable experience - mark your calendars now!
